[ wip ] Serpent Day (Patreon)

• Snake and flower wip (2017) : 1 / 2 / 3 

Today is Serpernt Day! (Feb 1st)

I checked this day on my calendar for drawing this picture 😁

I've drawn snakes several times, but this time it's been a long time... almost 3 years 😅.

I personally liked snakes since I was young..

Because I thought I was born in the Year of the Snake.

But it turns out later, it was mistaken and I was born in the Year of the Gold Dragon(黃龍) . (Chinese Zodiac is decided by the lunar calendar.)

In Korean myth, a snake that lived for a thousand years became a dragon when it got super power pearl, so I think dragon was snake too haha.

We used to see our fortune through Chinese zodiac like horoscope in the West.

Practiced sketches.

I was very careful about the thickness and length of the deform at first.

I thought I'd look like a worm if I did something wrong.

WIP

I modified the sketch with Photoshop's Puppet Tool. 

(Photoshop Menu -> Edit -> Puppet Warp)

Usually I try to draw as simple as I can when I draw many animals in one frame, but this time I cared about the scale depiction.
